Picked this option and paid the extra because of the wooden stand and the case. never got them. Headphones work fine but would've picked any of the other good bundles or pay cheaper.If you're looking at these headphones then your probably an audiophile or a sound, mixing or recording engineer. These are for surgical work, not great for casual listening. They are so clear on a huge frequency range with a pretty flat response, crispy hfs and no artificial booming in the low end. I hear them all the way down to maybe 38hz; I'm constantly using them for low end checks. Best representation of the sonic picture for the price. They're comfy but a little tight. Not good for vocal recording because they do bleed a fair bit into the space. Awesome articulation of the individual earpieces. Not great at isolating your ears from the environment, so it's best to use them in a very quiet spot. Love em.Great headphones. This is a nice bundle. Headphones are comfortable and good for extended wear. After a couple of hours though, they do tend to heat up your ears, though nothing too intolerable. Sound quality is excellent and crystal clear. Even without active noise cancellation, they tend to block out most background noise. I had the comparably priced shure brand before. I think these are more comfortable with better sound. The bundle with the stand and case is nice. Stand helps keep them up off your desk, which is actually more helpful than I would've thought.I work in a location where we can not have any smart devices, no bluetooth, no noise cancellation, or microphones. Usually this means we are stuck with cheap 9 dollar convenient store headphones.The ATH-M50X fit my office’s strict guidelines for what is allowed, while also being a high quality product. I am more than happy with my purchase. I like them enough that I carry them back and forth and use them at home as well. I have recommended these to everyone I work with that is looking for a new pair of headphones.The case is also quite nice. And the bamboo stand is simple and aesthetically pleasing.My old ATH-M40xs died a few days ago and so I went ahead and moved up in model. The ATH-M50x is a great set of headphones. I swapped out the original ear pads with some brainwaves memory phone padding. Great set of headphones!this is my 2nd pair of audio-Technica head phone. Working out of a home studio, they provide me with the sound quality to get my mixes to a point of feeling good about presenting my projects to a professional mastering engineer. Now with three pairs counting this new pair, I have three two are over 4 years old and they still sound outstanding. can't go wrong. Love my headphones.This bundle is great. Properly packed and sound quality.These are the second pair I bought. I had the first ones for 7 years and they were still working great, but they had an unfortunate encounter with a huge dog. These are better than more expensive headphones such as Beats (lasted less than a month) and a definite must-have for any one serious about music.
